Make this simple crochet rattle wooden teether toy for your baby to chew!
Studies have shown that wood is an excellent choice for treating infant gum pain. There is no shock as imagined. People say that maple is the best, but you can also use beech teether without any problems. The teething ring should be polished well and then treated with some natural finish. Of course, you will not use what we use on furniture. Coconut oil is the best because it is natural and safe for babies, and it helps the wood not to chip. Besides, it smells very good.
Of course, another big issue is the yarn you want to use.
Cotton is always more suitable for babies because they will put anything in their mouths. Oeko-Tex certificate means that the yarn has been tested and approved for hazardous substances.
You will need:
Cotton sport weight yarn
2.5 mm crochet hook
yarn needle
scissors
56 mm wooden teething ring
silicone beads (optional)

Sew opening closed and weave in all your ends. You can see in the photo tutorial below how you are going to attach the bunny ears to your wooden teething ring. First, a little sewing is required. Thread your needle with the same color yarn.
Place needle through rounds 14 and 15. Leave a long tail for sewing. Try to insert your needle near the edge of the ear.
Try to tighten it by pulling both ends of yarn together.
Repeat the process once more. This time try to insert the needle even closer to the edge of the ear.
Tighten again by pulling both ends of the yarn. Make a knot (or two) and hide the yarn inside the ear. Repeat the same on the other side.
Place bunny ears with right side facing down, pull the ears from the loop that is formed.
All these things are so cute and you need to wash them eventually, so you must give the baby a different set.
